Comment:

 The reason why in Bulk Edit those settings are dropdowns is the need of
 one additional option which is "No Change". For example "Sticky":
 - Quick Editing a single post: it can be Sticky or not Sticky, a simple
 checkbox works
 - Bulk Editing multiple posts: some of them can be Sticky, some not so the
 available actions must be
  - make them all Sticky
  - make them all not Sticky
  - keep current Sticky setting

 Three checkboxes for this wouldn't be so appropriate.
 On the other hand, making the "Sticky" setting on Quick Edit a dropdown
 would make the interface not so simple to use as it is with checkboxes.
